Why Do We Need Ganoderma?Many ailments are caused by
the imbalance of body functions due to the
accumulation of toxins in the body. Ganoderma helps
the body remove the build-up of toxins and allows
the body's natural immune system to strengthen
itself. In China, it
has over 2,000 years, the mushroom known as Reishi
(Ganoderma lucidum) has been called "God's Herb".

Also recognized by its Chinese name, Ling Zhi,
Reishi's reputation for being effective in treating
a wide range of ailments moved Chinese Emperors
throughout the various Dynasties to order servants
to search for wild Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms found
atop distant mountains, believing that the
consumption of Ganoderma lucidum would grant them
eternal youth and enhanced health.

Because of the
mushroom's remote habitat and the scarcity of
high-quality specimens, the use of Ganoderma lucidum
for medicinal purposes was reserved primarily for
royalty and wealthy individuals.
It was not until
the late 20th century, that this once-rare plant,
through diligent cultivation by the Japanese, was it
made widely available to the general public.

The original
textbook of Oriental medical science, "Herbal
Pharmacopoeia", was compiled by the founding father
of Chinese medicine, Shen Nong (Han Dynasty, 206 BC
~ 8 AD). In it, the legendary herbalist-emperor
documented 365 species of plants and classified them
into three categories: superior, average and fair.
These classifications were based on two main
criteria: its benefits, based on consumption on a
continual basis, and side effects. For those plants
graded as "superior", the power to harmonize the
functions of the body, mind and spirit and the range
of ailments they could treat were greater and
broader than those of weaker specimens. In addition,
they had to have little or no longterm side effects.
Among the specimens in this class, G. lucidum was
ranked the highest in this classic medical text,
even superior to the well known ginseng. In the
"Compendium of Materia Medica" (Ben Cao Gang Mu),
which contains hundreds of natural medicines the
Chinese have used for thousands of years, celebrated
physician and naturalist Li Shi Zhen (1518~1593)
described the benefits of G. lucidum: "It benefits
the life energy, or "qi" of the heart, repairing the
chest area and benefiting those with a knotted and
tight chest. Taken over a long period of time,
agility of the body will not cease, and the years
are lengthened to those of the Immortal Fairies."

Over the ages,
Ganoderma lucidum has become ingrained in Oriental
art and culture because of its prestigious status in
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Since the first
Chinese dynasty, paintings, embroideries, buildings,
and sculptures of the gods and immortals have
depicted G. lucidum as a symbol of divinity,
longevity and good fortune. Depictions of G. lucidum
are displayed throughout the Forbidden City and the
Summer Palace in Beijing as a testimony to its
value, and the mushroom's distinctive shape was a
favorite ornamental design feature used by royalty
and the wealthy. Even the traditional scepter of the
emperors of China was a stylized Reishi, called a "Ru
Yi".

Qualities Ganoderma

The Reishi
mushroom, also known by its formal name of Ganoderma
lucidum and its Chinese name Ling zhi, has attained
an unparalleled reputation in the Orient as the
ultimate herbal substance. For over three thousand
years it has been the most sought-after product of
nature by mountain sages and by the emperors and
empresses of all Eastern nations. In the first
Chinese herbal text (Shennong's Pharmacopoeia)
written about 2400 years ago, Ganoderma lucidum was
classified as a "superior herb" which is defined as
one that "serves to maintain life, promote radiant
health and long life" because of its normalizing
action, and to cause no side effects, even when used
continuously. "That ancient book said that" continuous consumption of Ganoderma lucidum makes
your body light and young, lengthens your life and
turns you into one like the immortal who never
dies." Thus Ganoderma lucidum was traditionally
called "the mushroom of immortality."

The Ganoderma
lucidum Mushroom grows wild only upon old trees and
roots of certain types of trees in remote mountain
forests of China, Japan and Korea. Only in the last
fifteen years have we seen the cultivation of
Ganoderma lucidum, and thus the commercial
availability of this amazing health product.
Ganoderma lucidum has been the object of intensive
scientific studies to discern its many health
functions from a modern perspective. Traditionally,
Ganoderma lucidum is believed to be a tonic to all
of the body's energies. It was revered as a major
tonic to each of the three Treasures, Jing, Qi and
Shen. As a Jing (Essence) tonic, Ganoderma lucidum
is believed to have major life-lengthening effects
when consumed over a long period of time. It is
believed to build primal power and to replenish
energy spent handling stressful situations. As a Qi
tonic, Ganoderma lucidum is used to build energy,
although it is slightly sedative in the short run.
It is most famous as an herb used to build the
immune system.

Many studies
done in Japan have shown Ganoderma lucidum to have a
powerful effect on the body's overall resistance to
disease. While medical research and individual case
studies have shown red Ganoderma lucidum to be
effective in treating numerous conditions and
diseases, it is important to emphasize again that
the greatest proven benefit of regular red Reishi
consumption is the enhancement of your body’s
overall health.

Through
purification, improved blood flow, immune
modulation, detoxification, rejuvenation, and
revitalization, red Reishi can enhance the body's
ability to combat a myriad of diseases, particularly
those that occur more frequently with advanced age.

Obesity can
affect one's self confidence and have a negative
impact on one's self-image. In addition, it can lead
to diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Studies
have found that regular consumption of red Reishi
helps the body cleanse itself of accumulated toxins
and excess lipids (fat).

In addition to
regulating the body's way of handling fat, red
Reishi products can also improve the condition of
the skin. The anti-aging properties of red Reishi
may be related to improved blood flow and increased
delivery of nutrients to the skin. It may also help
in the reparation process of sun-damaged skin.
People who have taken Ganoderma lucidum regularly
have noticed a decrease in pimples (acne) and other
blemishes. Control acne breakouts/Enchance skin
complexion/Minimize fine lines and lighten age
spots.

Regular
consumption of red Reishi also has a calming and
stress-reducing effect on the body, and appears to
improve sleep patterns, without the sedation
commonly seen with medications. It should be clear
to the reader that these benefits combined, will
improve one's physical appearance. Regular red
Reishi intake combined with a healthy diet and
active lifestyle, can effectively facilitate your
body's return to a normal, healthy state.

On the Road to
Better Health with Red Reishi If we do not actively
maintain a healthy lifestyle, our bodies will
deteriorate, and we will gradually become accustomed
to this state of declining health. We may lose track
of weight that we have gained and not notice the
decline in our natural well being until a
significant problem arises. It is thought that over
time, an inactive body accumulates toxins, and this
contributes to the deterioration of overall
wellness.

Consuming a
red Reishi product on a regular basis is thought to
clear some of these toxins. In the beginning, a user
may experience a “resetting” period, where his or
her body will exhibit signs of "cleansing". The
excretion of accumulated poisons and an increase in
various metabolic activities are normal signs of
recovery and they indicate that the regulatory
properties of red Reishi are taking effect. Common
symptoms of "recovery" may include dizziness, sore
bones, skin irritation, change in bowel movements,
including diarrhea and constipation, and pimple-like
blemishes appearing on various parts of the body.
The time frame for these symptoms may vary from
person to person, but they generally last only a few
days - until the body adjusts to a higher state of
wellness and becomes accustomed to the regular
intake of red Reishi. Daily consumption of large
amounts of water is recommended. It is important to
point out again that these physiological reactions
are only temporary, unlike side effects from
medications.

Cordyceps
Health Benefits

Helping to Manage Blood Sugar LevelsMultiple studies have
shown that cordyceps can help in the safe management
of blood sugar levels. For instance, in a laboratory
study, a polysaccharide (a long chain,
naturally-occurring compound made up of sugars bound
chemically to each other) isolated from cordyceps
was seen to lower blood sugar levels in mice
predisposed to high blood sugar levels. This
polysaccharide was also seen to lower blood levels
of triglycerides and cholesterol. Studies in normal
rats have shown that consumption of cordyceps
extracts helps to improve tissue sensitivity to
insulin, while also lowering the insulin response to
a carbohydrate challenge. Indeed, extracts of
cordyceps have been shown to slow down weight loss,
reduce excessive thirst, improve glucose tolerance,
and help to maintain blood sugar levels in a safe
range in various laboratory rat models.

Supporting Heart HealthIn laboratory experiments
with rats and guinea pigs, a cordyceps extract was
seen to help maintain regular heart rhythms. In
fact, preparations made from cultured mycelia of
cordyceps - which is the part of the mushroom that
is made up of fine white filaments - has been
approved for maintaining heart health in China.
Further, consumption of cordyceps was seen to
prevent much of the metabolic damage in both the
livers and hearts of rats with chronic kidney
disease. Treatments to suppress the immune system
are routinely used to prevent the body from
rejecting a new heart after a heart transplant.
However, the prolonged use of so-called
"immunosuppressants" after transplant surgery leads
to significant problems of its own. Promisingly, a
2008 laboratory study showed that cordyceps extract
helped to lower the rate of rejection of heart
transplants in a laboratory rat model.

Supporting Kidney HealthIn China, cordyceps is
routinely used to help maintain kidney health.
Results from laboratory studies as well as clinical
trials indicate that cordyceps may help to protect
kidneys after transplantation. For example, a
preparation made from cordyceps mycelia reduced the
rejection rate after kidney transplants, while also
helping to maintain kidney and liver function as
well as red blood cell production within healthy
limits. Similarly, another cordyceps product known
as CS-4 has been shown to help maintain blood levels
of urea, creatinine, total blood protein, and
calcium within safe, normal levels. In a 2016
laboratory study in mice, powdered extracts of
cordyceps were seen to help maintain kidney health.

Boosting the Immune SystemIn a 2012 study, cordyceps
polysaccharides were seen to overcome induced
immunosuppression, while also helping to maintain
lymphocyte and macrophage function within normal
levels in mice. Lymphocytes are known to be potent
orchestrators of the immune system's response to
infections and injury. Macrophages are a type of
cell responsible for detecting, engulfing, and
destroying pathogens and damaged and dying cells in
the body. Cordyceps polysaccharides also improved
antioxidation activity in mice with suppressed
immune systems, while also raising the levels of the
natural antioxidants superoxidase dismutase,
catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.

Maintaining libidoCordyceps has
traditionally been used for helping to maintain
libido and sexual function in many Eastern
societies. Laboratory experiments on animals confirm
that cordyceps can help to improve reproductive
activity, while consumption of cordyceps has been
shown to help maintain libido and sexual activity in
both men and women.

Helping to Combat FatigueA 2010 study showed that
supplementation with the cordyceps extract CS-4 for
12 weeks helped to combat fatigue and improved
exercise performance, while also helping to maintain
overall wellness in 20 healthy elderly adults.
Cordyceps contains adenosine and is known to be able
to stimulate production of ATP, one of the primary
sources of energy in our body's cells. Indeed, a
2007 study concluded that higher production of ATP
because of cordyceps consumption helped athletes
maintain intense workouts while also extending the
periods of time they were active at high intensity.
Finally, studies have shown that supplementing with
cordyceps can help lower heart rate, which likely
explains why people can train harder for longer
periods when supplementing with cordyceps.
